How I did it
How to plant a garden
It took me
6 months
It made me
Accomplished

How I did it: Finally got around to planting a garden at the ranch. I've grown little things here and there but I wanted to have a decent garden like my Grandparents. So my Pawpaw and I planted on out at the ranch, just outside the barn where the horses and animals can't get to it. We'll see how it produces. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Read how I did it…

How to go snowboarding
It took me
18 years
It made me
Sore!

How I did it: Well growing up I had always skied on our yearly trips to New Mexico and Colorado. This year though, my brother and I decided to go for it and try snowboarding. We had never done it because our friends told us it took at least two weeks to get the hang of it. Maybe we're just freaks but despite falling a LOT, we were going down the blues the first day. It was a bunch of fun!!! Even though I was severely sore afterwards. it was worth it. I… Read how I did it…

How to start Jumping horses again
It took me
3 years
It made me
Overjoyed!

How I did it: Well I moved to Austin part time and there are several great riding schools in the area. So I made a list of my favorites and narrowed it down to about four. Finally found my perfect match in a stable called Christie Show Jumpers. I love the instructors and the horses are all amazing. I hadn't jumped since I was fifteen or so. Needless to say I was very sore after the first couple of rides! Read how I did it…

ride a bull
Untitled 4 months ago

The boyfriend is gonna start helping me with this goal. Yay. Thank goodness for my retired bull rider boyfriend lol. Gotta start riding bareback alot more again, jumping bareback, and also working on my upper body strength. He wants me to be able to do chin ups before I actually attempt riding a bull. Oh boy….this may take a while. I’m a weakling when it comes to upper body.

sky dive
Almost did it... 8 months ago

I went on a date with a guy named Matt. He said he had a big surprise. We drove for nearly two hours to the other side of Houston. All the while I’m trying to figure out what the heck we’re going to do. Then finally he has to call for directions to the place and he tells me we’re going sky diving!! I was scared to death but couldn’t back out cause after all, I said I wanted to do it. So we were almost to the air field and it started raining!!! So they had to cancel our jump. I was disappointed cause I had finally gotten myself talked into it and calmed down. Oh well, one of these days.
